That is a million dollar question.

Anyways, as a developer, stackoverflow is the next destination when I get some funny errors in my console when writing programs.

You get answers to virtually any programming issues you encounter. This is because someone must have asked such questions before and received answers. So, to answer your question, you can't do without stackoverflow.

For your javascript question, I would say there's no need cramming anything. Your daily usage of these things would make it become a second nature to you in solving real life challenges.

By the way, I write softwares in dart and flutter!

If you are truly a python developer you should know that nobody, I mean no body can cram all the good. You think of what you want to achieve and you research on how to code it.

It may be a new invention or a code someone has solve before m, any way you choose you still need to research.


Google and stackoverflow has help millions of developers achieve incredible things in till current time.

Don't use Nigeria mentality of studying by craming all the text book in the work to pass.... In code you research and you test what you found in your research. If it works then good, you modify and move to the next task and if it doesn't, you go back and continue your search.

Hope it helps
Stackoverflow and google are best bet for programmers but make sure you understand the syntax because code can never to cram.

it was possible in the 70s and early 80s by using reference books
But development is much larger these days - many namespaces, functions, etc
also, it is much smarter and achieves better result to use these resources

Impossible.

If you are a beginner in tech there is a huge chance that you will have lots of questions. Stackoverflow is a life saver. You learn and see different ways of solving problems.

Do without Google, yes! Because there are other search engines.

BUT... It will be very hard to do without stackoverflow. It has helped my life a lot.
Nailed it!

I post lost of questions on quora, and even stackoverflow. Stackoverflow really helped me get on easily with Laravel, while i use quora for data research/analysis using python, esp if i do not feel comfortable with advance excel. No developer is an island, we all need each other, so no developer can do without a community of developers.

Hey guys, I’m a network engineer but I want to try the software developers industry.

Although I use python in my field for network automation.

I just started with JavaScript and I’m wondering do I have to cram the whole JavaScript language ?
Or how do you use array, functions, object etc in building real life software or application.

After learning JavaScript basic what next?

Lastly can a developer do without google or stackoverflow or any developers community forum?



Brother, I deh Google some html tags sometimes. You don't have to cram, you just have to understand what you are doing and be able to recognise some JavaScript code when you see them. Dasol

Technically this is a recursive question since — No stack overflow would exist if humans like you and I don't answer questions on that platform.


I once read on Quora that in the 1970s when Personal computing was in its nascent stages developers /Programmers knew to read white papers and related technology documentation indepth since there were few humans to run to in search for answers.

Social media has reduced the difficulties in seeking answers to difficult questions. But it has also made the average programmer too lazy to read white papers and technology documentations enough to know the tech as expert levels.

For microsoft technologies, MSDN existed then (it used to be paid - now free) to read up tech issues.
Re: Can Developers Do Without The Use Of Google Or Stackoverflow? by Jonathan39: 2:09pm On May 26, 2021
Even programmers in Google search things in Google. Just know the basics. When working on Projects, research and modify to get what you want.
